Cattle Shows and Fairs.

The season of Cattle Shows aud Fairs
is rapidly approaching. First comes Off
the Eastern State Fair at Bangor, the last
days Of this month and the first of
September. Then the State Fair at Lew
iston September -, then Immediately
following, will come the County Shows
all over the State, supplemented by
numerous town fairs and festivals in
which, if former years is to be taken as
an indication Of the future, Somerset
towns will bear off the palm.
These farmers festivals are worthy of
the best en1eayor of our farmers, their
wives and daughters, who are supposed
to have deeper interest in these things
because it comes closer to their home life
and their every day pursuits. They are
also worthy of the attention and patronage
Of all classes of our citizens whether
aSriculturaists, manufacturers, traders,
or those in professional callings. No
class of human beings can be divorced
from vital interest in the soil and its
products. al sorts Of business, gets its
inspiration from the husbandman and is
closely identified with the success of agri-
culture therefore. All should work for
the good Of whatever is an advantage to
agriculture. If these agricultural fairs
have tendency to give a fresh impulse
to agricultural and industrial interests il
is the part of wisdom TO encourage them
by laudable effort.
There is little doubt but that good
exhibition, one that is representative Of /
the business Of the communities repre-
scented, is Il benefit to the business OF those T
communities in all its ramtcations, but
there is room for a serious question,
whether an inadequate exhibition that
shall msreprcsent that business Is not an
injury a mean show where an agri. |
cultural society has the ability and the
facilities to make Il crcditablc one, may be T
positive injury.
The Somerset Central Society last year
made very credtabe exhibition in most
of its features. There was good display
of stock Of all kinds, of horse, for speed.
carriage breeding and work, Of fruits
and crops and some | mes of manufacture,
but that of manufactures Of our county in
general, was weak, decidedly weak. This
is wrong. The mills and shops of central
Somerset can make a good showing in
this line, one much more extensive in
variety than most people imagine, and we
venture to say it would attract greater
attention than any other exhibit that
could be made. Shall we have ity 1t
can be brought about by a little well
directed effort and we hope it will be
done.
The premium lists of the Somerset
Central are in the hands of the printer
and will be ready for distribution in few
days. Everything is progressing favor.
ably and the prospect is bright for one
of the most creditable fairs that the
society has ever given. 1t is only neces-
sary that all work together to this end to
bring it about.

Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have h~ackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more
remained TO be said. But the phiiosOs
piers have gone far out OF their way to nc
count for the prevalence OF ill-assorted
couples and unhappy homes, and have
overlooked the chief cause. Most OF the
unhappiness Of married life can be traced
directly to those functional arrangements
to which women are subject. In nine
